As OP said, stars correlated with their own posting on Lemmy. So your affirmation is not absolutely true. It’s all relative… same applies to posting on reddit vs. lemmy… There’s a dilemma between popularity vs. a smaller niche population with ethical concerns.

In a similar vein, PRs might be more in quantity but less in quality when comparing any foss project on github vs codeberg…

Yes it is. You will only lose github issues. You need to set repo there as mirror without issues and that’s it, done

Wireguard allows you to tunnel properly. For example, if you have a low cost vps, self-host Pangolin and voilà. Tho idk about android apps, surely there’s some wireguard clients that work perfectly fine with Pangolin

I don’t like those projects either. Scuttlebut and cjdns looked more “profesional” to my ignorant eyes. I bring these up because I’d like to hear your comments. I will check 10fingers now…

Thanks. Sure it is. But I will call this a feature now ;)

For some reason, my version of syncthing-fork is old and source is not even on f-droid anymore. Was there any other before catfriend1? Perhaps I downloaded APK from GitHub… Can’t recall.

Time to migrate? SeaweedFS, RustFS, or Garage https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ cover the basics and some nice features too AFAIK.

it could also be because I mentioned oracle :P

Try Pangolin instead of cloudfare, though it requires a VPS (e.g. oracle free tier, or pay €1/month to ionos)

Only the failed attempts could be a Denial Of Service and throw you out. So, at least add an ever increasing delay to those. Fail2ban is important.

This is entirely different approach, sorry. Fwiw, I bought a wireless (2.4Ghz) keyboard that has a trackpad, and just use a zoomed-in KDE Plasma. Far from the eye candy of a kiosk, but with some customization you may achieve satisfaction (:

You’re right https://www.copyright.gov/1201/2018/faqs.html

Yet, they’re entitled to their own decisions, triumphs and failures. So, they can shutdown the instance. Now, it would be a different thing if people really want them to be around again, raise some money, grab a backup, buy the domain name, let’s gooo!! …or not. Fine by me. If only 2 users from the instance decided to start a new one this is a huge win :)

I do read the docs. Even before trying software, to judge if ot will fulfill my requirements… Rocky Linux is one such example. Great docs, I’d love to try their distro one day :)

Instances can close registrations if there are too many bots, and somehow it could be okay. Bots aren’t impossible to fight, the problem is that capitalist platforms support or ignore the issue since for them is somewhat convenient driving engagement… Or whatever ad-revenue system is behind that.

Transphobes iirc

A fork is desirable. Then we can have antifa hacktivists contributing to that source with malware to scare them out of their dumb political views.

Not one mention to moderation. The strength and focus of our “small isles” is on taking control of moderating the contents. We can stop fascists posts, and we can share alternative narratives (e.g. solarpunk) to Sillicon Valley. Plus, spoiler alerts as content warnings, etc. I think mastodon with their covenant is the greatest example of this ethos.

Just the memes, and then I hear someone mention some atrocity and I understand the half of them :p

Not sure if this is what you’re are after, but https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot allows, among other things, to share the Ethernet-connected PC internet (with VPN if needed) as a WLAN for TVs, Phones, etc.
